By the End of This Century, the Global Population Will Start to Shrink
Entro la fine di questo secolo, la popolazione globale comincerà a ridursi Il tasso di fertilità sta scendendo in tutti i paesi del pianeta.Lo sostengono Darrell Bricker e John Ibbitson gli autori del nuovo libro Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline.
The great defining event of the 21st century — one of the great defining events in human history — will occur in three decades, give or take, when the global population starts to decline. Once that decline begins, it will never end. We do not face the challenge of a population bomb, so rampant in the popular imagination, but of a population bust — a relentless, generation-after-generation culling of the human herd. Nothing like this has ever happened before.
